MangoApps Web Interface Updates

Co-worker name friendly mentions, improved user profiles with custom field support and ability to quickly do powerful searches are some of the web interface updates that are part of the new MangoApps 10 release.

Improved @mentions support

  • First name based mentions have been introduced to make updates more co-worker-friendly. Where first name is not possible because of same first name for more than 1 co-worker then first and last name (either initial of the last name or full last name) is used.
  • Clicking on the mention now gives you a mini profile preview of the user – providing key information, such as title, manager, phone, email address and more.
  • Your mentions have a background based on the theme color and other users’ mentions have a grey colored background.
  • News feed continues to have a dedicated mentions tab to give you quick access to all updates you were mentioned in.

  • Every employee can now edit these custom fields along with other profile information on his profile (unless domain admin has disabled edit permissions).
  • Ability to search on these custom fields is available on the advanced search page.

  • From MangoApps 10, you can visit the advanced search page directly from the top search bar.
  • The advanced search page allows you to search with advanced filter options for all of your content in MangoApps.

Other key improvements/simplications

  • Dimensions support for projects, groups, opportunities, files and people has been re-labelled as “Custom Fields” to better align the name with its purpose. The functionality associated with it continues to remain unchanged.
  • Ability to switch from one project to another (or one group to another) while inside a project has been simplified with a new drop-down available when hovering over the project/group name.
